Hi,
I am aware of the magnetic? circular rubber thing visible left side with trunk lid open which releases and activates the trunk lid opening and and shutting....At the moment I have to really swing the trunk lid to get it to stay shut- can i adjust or lube something to get it to engage the way it should i.e. by just letting the lid fall?
thanks

The top latch (U shaped thingey) should be adjustable. Mine has two bolts which can be loosened to reposition the latch. Try that. I have the same issue with my hood, one side unlatches - the other side does not.

Did you fix this okay? Mine was the same, really had to slam it which never seemed right to me for this type of car. Turns out the close assist wasn't working. Now I just have to click the boot down and the close assist pulls it shut and latches it. Same with the doors too.
